| Mutey_says | Seeing all the NT posts about #BlossomWatch reminded me of happy times in Japan during the season some years ago. Japan is such a wonderful place, I loved it. Definitely want to go back. When we can travel internationally again, it’s 1st/2nd on the list, who’s with me? <U+0001F60A> https://t.co/svlWZiMlln https://t.co/OewIGWZbx5 | 2 |
